Yup. That's how it's done elsewhere...

The article  '5 Canadian Hot Spots to Visit' has Dundas at #4. With its downtown being the focus. 

I don't need to be told that Stoney Creek ain't Dundas, that their King Street is so much longer than ours, that there is so much more potential with so much more synergy at play. 

But even acknowledging all that, doncha think it would be nice if Downtown Stoney Creek had in its 2 blocks (and yes, I'm being arbitrary here, but only because we're dealing with a longstanding, habitual truth) something akin to what Dundas has?

I'd pay to sit in on a discussion as to why Dundas and Stoney Creek...both with rich heritages and stable communities...have ended up with such different 'main street' profiles.
